Are you kidding? Heres the quote:

quote:This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to U.S. policy, not to, obviously, the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video – a film – that we have judged to be reprehensive and disgusting. That in no way justifies any violent reaction to it. But this is not a case of protests directed at the United States, writ large, or at U.S. policy. This is in response to a video that is offensive and – to Muslims.

And then, BAM! Evolution...

I know they don't have a lot of available trees for wood and all.

I was thinking about starting a manufacturing company that makes big American flags with big letters stating "Made in the USA" to sell to the ME countries. We have an almost unlimited source of cotton here in the USA. They seem to have an unlimited hatred for the USA. The ME governments can use the money from their oil profits to purchase the flags for their subjects to burn. Now if sales start to slow then all we have to do is get some moron to post a video on YouTube to stir the ME up again. And make it rain money. Win Win
